Prince George Mother Charged In Infants Death

A Prince George County mother is charged with two counts of abuse/child neglect after her 17 month old boy died over the weekend.

Sources say the mother, 22 year old Brittney Downing, left her children in her vehicle while she worked at a Glen Allen hotel on Sunday.

Downing called 911 a little after 6p and emergency crews arrived only to pronounc the 17-month-old dead and said a 2-month-old infant in the apartment was “experiencing problems.” The baby girl was rushed to VCU Medical Center where she remained on a ventilator in critical condition.
